Syringe filter is a small, disposable device used for filtering liquids or gases.It consists of a plastic housing with a membrane filter at one end and a female luer lock or luer slip connection at the other end, which allows it to be attached to a syringe or other fluid delivery system.
Syringe filters are commonly used in laboratory and research settings to remove particles, microorganisms, or other impurities from samples before analysis or further processing. The membrane filter in a syringe filter acts as a barrier, allowing only the desired components of the sample to pass through while retaining any larger particles or contaminants.
The choice of membrane material depends on the nature of the sample and the substances to be filtered.
